CVSA 72 hour road check blitz

The state of Georgia doesn't care if you are empty or loaded. They will pull you in their scales. I went down I-95 in South Carolina going into Georgia. I had exactly 7,000 pounds in the dry box. Knowingly, I am not over on none of my axles with that much weight. That's like pulling an empty trailer. Sure enough, I get pulled into to the chicken coop with 7,000 pounds. I get the bypass lane. Georgia DOT is so desperate it's not even funny. If you let out a flatulent with the window down, I am sure they will say you got hazmat on with no placards. It's that crazy with Georgia DOT.

 

Yep...Operation DOT Shakedown 2014 has commenced.

 

Depends on how fast you're going under the transponder and your company's CSA score. I usually get the green light everywhere, except when GA wants to pull everybody in.

 

False. Unless you're going to tell me that everytime you slip seat a truck daily/weekly it's updated which I will call bogus on that claim to. Prepass is only assigned to the company, that's it. Nothing at all is tied to the driver of that truck

 

That is not true. They have your name, carrier, and tag. That's why you can't use another driver's prepass that works with you. We also have prepass gates so I know all that stuff pulls up.

 

Over last 3 days and 2000+ miles, I only had to run over 2 open scales and never felt luckier. Only 4th time seeing this but the coops seemed 'extra' packed this year. Some looked like a truck show was going on as they had so many in rows with the hoods up.

 

What? Last company I worked for slip-seated often and the pre-pass belonged to the truck, not drivers. They remained in the truck.

 

Who do you guys work for? This is beyond false. I drove slip seat for a year, never had to switch prepasses. This might be for some of you guys & I truly mean SOME but there's so many carriers that slip seat on dedicated accounts that have prepass and I know for a fact that what you guys are saying isnt true.

 

I know mine has my Name, tag, and carrier. I am leased to my dad's company, when we add a pre-pass to a truck, we update all of that on the website.

 

Because it's YOUR TRUCK!! This isn't the case with company drivers. The prepass is just tied to the truck vin & license plates
